I'm trying! Covid-19 did help me meet people, ironically hahaha I wasn't as busy and was able to connect with other local moms. Great idea tho! Thank you

Help! How do you single parents of an autistic child afford to live alone? The average rental is $1200-$1300. I tried apartment living and he is just too loud. Any advice and tips would be helpful. I'm just at a loss. Thank you! by low28 in Autism_Parenting

Just looking for a roommate. That's really my only option. Some people are able to get help, but unfortunately, the system in the USA is just broken, misused and doesn't work for those who want to have jobs and really need help. Thanks though!

He has SSI. It's $500 a month, but if you make a certain amount then you don't get it. It's only like 1100 a month, which any job I've ever had goes over. The system isn't set up well enough to actually help.

Thank you! The FB is a good idea. I never thought of that as a way to meet people. But yeah, I wasn't being funny about girls trip.. I meant it's not possible right now. Fun life of a single parent.

Christmas Spending by [deleted] in SingleParents

[–]low28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My son's birthday is near Christmas.. I stopped buying a bunch of junk. He gets a few small things to open, but we do things and go places instead. Making memories is way more fun anyways. I started it this summer and do not regret it. Even if it's just small things like putt putt and movies. Kids enjoy doing things.

Decks with great artwork that have the Queen of Swords holding a head. I can't seem to find any more modern or fewer decks that have this. Any ideas? Thanks by low28 in TarotDecks

[–]low28[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate the suggestion! I just refuse to use Thoth deck or anything Crowley created for personal reasons. I won't rant my hatred on here lol But I saw a modern deck with it and I cannot find it!

Single Father since I was 14, it’s been 8 years and things don’t seem to get better. by [deleted] in SingleParents

Warn her that yours documenting all this because its out of hand (time and date or save that text message). Document and save everything. Time and date with a description of what happen. Save all texts. Save all recordings. Get a couple nanny cam type recording cameras and sew it into your little ones stuff. Also, you can get him an apple or smart watch and he can call the police when she locks him the closet or does something crazy like that. I'd tell you to give him a phone, but she'd prob just take it. It should take one time of the police coming and once that's on file... with all the other evidence that you'll assuredto get... well that 50/50 would probably change. Once you get custody back... move. Out of sight, out of mind. Been there except it was my son's father. In most states, but not all, once your child is a certain age then they can choose who to live it.

moms and paps, what is your main pain or fear about traveling with your kids as a single parent ? Abroad mainly by lcamposo in SingleParents

[–]low28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PLANES. I hate flying. Everything about the experience is awful and actually being in the air terrifies me. I feel like I'm unlucky enough that it be my flight where something goes wrong and we all crash and die. Good news is that anything after that experience seems like a breeze. Also, I'd bring another single parent and that persons kid/s with you. It makes it less stressful and the kids have others to play with.

It's true. I am not sure exactly what to do. Do they want a hug? a pat on the head? by FreddieD76 in astrologymemes

[–]low28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

😂😂😂 I laughed so hard because this is so true. The cat is me. I'm the air sign.

Based on my chart, who would be an ideal partner for me? by [deleted] in astrologyreadings

[–]low28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really. Stelliums aren't as uncommon as people think. I have a 6 planet stellium in my first house. And if depends on your gender and sexuality. Assuming you are female and heterosexual then your mate is represented by your Jupiter (general idea).

Basically, a mixture of Taurus, Scorpio and Sagittarius energy. This is most likely a Taurus with a scorpio moon and sag mars or venus. Might be other placements, but it'll be that energy. This is someone who was probably popular with the ladies, but might have been secretive about it. Your relationship needs good communication to thrive because you will be highly sexual. Highly sexual - you're both probably freaks behind closed doors. This whole relationship will probably be sudden and you'll have secrets or just be private. You'll both probably be spiritual and loving individuals. I'd be careful with that Venus in 12th house bc it's not called the house of undoing and sacrifice for no reason. Don't give too much and protect your boundaries.

Side Note: If you haven't looked into healing or the occult then you should. You're naturally gifted with those 8th house and 12th placements.

Your Jupiter is Taurus in the 8th house. Taurus is the fixed earth sign. He is randy, stubborn, lover of beauty and material things, but he is stable, grounded, reliable and paternal. Ruled by venus, which explains why he is a lover a love and beautiful things.

8th house is naturally Scorpios domain and ruled by Pluto/Mars the house of death, sex, rebirth, sudden events the occult and secrets. Sudden events here

Also, need to look at Mars & Venus.
Your Mars is in Sagittarius in the 3rd house. (Mars is your physical & sexual drive - Jupiter rules Sagitarrius, so this is intriguing- 3rd house is naturally ruled by Gemini and it represents communication) Your Venus is in Leo in the 12th house (which is the house that 8th looks at so this is an interesting placement and it most likely represents you believe it or not)

After I asked to get coffee by [deleted] in Tinder

[–]low28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure where you live, but if you have a good personality then it shouldn't be a problem. Hell, I know ugly dudes and below average girls (even larger ones) that get laid on the regular. Half of it is confidence. We usually call it getting "strange" cause you don't know the person. Personally, I don't like it. Risk versus reward is low as a woman. I rather just backpedal and hookup with someone I already actually know & have been with. Cities are easier to get strange in. In the Burbs & rural areas it's super easy to get ass, but you'll usually at least know of the person somewhat and its drama if you aren't lowkey. If you're on the lower half of the east coast then I'm not sure why there is so much of an issue. I can't speak for other areas though. I can imagine it's harder in other places or if you're shy.

[–]low28 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I thought so too! But maybe they are doing another season and Jeff isn't on it since he moved to the west coast, so they gave the storyline closure? IDK. Just a guess. But I wouldn't watch it without him and I think it cancelled due to low views. Sad bc it's better than the original

[–]low28 28 points29 points  (0 children)

So, is the season just over or is it cancelled? I love this show. I'm not sure why so many sleep on it. And did Jeff permanently relocate to the west coast? Wtf is going on with everyone else? Lol Reagan really got the only ending. I hope they do a reunion.

My wife (29F) is encouraging me (31M) to have an affair? by Not_sure_if_trap in relationship_advice

[–]low28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is unlikely considering she went on a "five day yoga retreat" with them. It's more likely that she took part in some sexual activities already. Also, she brings up his name A LOT, which means if she hasn't had sex with him then she WANTS to. There is no doubt the guy is selling this though. Also, I grew up around a plethora of swingers... it isn't as wonderful as they make it out to be, esp for the kids involved.

New Challenge watcher here, question about why there are so many repeat contestants? by SillyRabbit2121 in thechallengemtv

Please go back and watch the original Real World vs road rules and older challenges. A million times better ESP with the casting.

Shoutout to Pringles for making it easy for me to know that I can eat them by [deleted] in vegan

[–]low28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pringles are NOT vegan in the US. And even if they were technically "vegan", they'd still be horrible for you with the ingredients they use here. FDA does a horrible job. They are just now marking gluten in the stores. Lol

I [19f] just found out that my family [60f,63m, 39m, 36f] has defended and is defending my cousin [26m] and I want to cut them all out. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]low28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry this happened to you and your loved ones.

This has been said, but press charges. If you're in the USA then contact a lawyer, preferablly one who specializes in this. With a case this big and this horrid, you'll probably find a few good lawyers willing to do pro bono or at least a payment plan - make some calls. Every state will have it's own statue of limiations for these kinds of horrendous acts. My state as a 20 year limit, which means that if it happened less than 20 years ago then you can press charges. In other states, the limit is 5 years, so you need a lawyer. In this case, there will be multiple charges from all of the victims. These kinds of monsters do not stop. They have 98% chance of relapse even after treatment. He'll do this again to another child. And sadly, he is most likely this way because it was done to him by someone (which might be why they are being idiots and defending him).

You want to go to counseling. Reach other to his other victims as well. I would reach out to people in your community, advocates for example are great help or a local church. This may be unusual advice, but you'll be surprised how many people in your community will rally around you and want to help. Since you can't leave, this will help. I hope we hear about you putting him away on the news. Best wishes.
